^ immobilisers usually cut fuel i thought, not prevent spark? (dunno tho) 
 
could be a wiring fault, have you checked all wiring to the coil mate?? 
 
if thats all fine then it can only really be immobiliser

check the cables, could be grounding somewhere. 
or maybe a fuse has blown, i would check that first actually.
